Chapter on the Inheritance of the Followers of Different Religions
وَ رُوِيَ عَنْ أَبِي اَلْأَسْوَدِ اَلدُّؤَلِيِّ: أَنَّ مُعَاذَ بْنَ جَبَلٍ كَانَ بِالْيَمَنِ فَاجْتَمَعُوا إِلَيْهِ وَ قَالُوا يَهُودِيٌّ مَاتَ وَ تَرَكَ أَخاً مُسْلِماً فَقَالَ مُعَاذٌ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ يَقُولُ: " اَلْإِسْلاَمُ يَزِيدُ وَ لاَ يَنْقُصُ فَوَرَّثَ اَلْمُسْلِمَ مِنْ أَخِيهِ اَلْيَهُودِيِّ ".
It was narrated from Abu Al-Aswad Al-Duʾali that Muadh ibn Jabal was in Yemen when people gathered around him and said: "A Jewish man has died and left behind a Muslim brother." Muadh said: "I heard the Messenger of Allah سبحانه وتعالى (peace be upon him and his family) say: 'Islam increases and does not diminish.'" Therefore, he allowed the Muslim to inherit from his Jewish brother.
